B) Explanatory Notes pursuant to Appendix 9B of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad 1. Analysis Of Performance Of All Operating Segments Group top-line revenue decreased by 6.6% and the Group recorded loss before taxation of RM36.7 million for the first quarter. The challenging business environment marked by intense competition coupled with significant currency headwinds faced by Malaysian Ringgit has impacted the bottom-line. a) Vehicles Assembly, Manufacturing, Distribution & After Sales Service (automotive) The automotive division recorded lower revenue of RM1,448.6 million (-6.6% YoY) with segment EBITDA of RM13.5 million (-81.6% YoY). The lower revenue was due to the overall slower consumers demands and consequently the lower EBITDA as a result of higher CKD kits cost arising from unfavourable foreign exchange rate compared to the previous year. b) Financial Services (hire purchase and insurance) The financial services division recorded lower revenue of RM13.8. million (-3.8% YoY) and EBITDA of RM3.2 million (-54.9% YoY). The decrease was due to lower number of motor insurance policies compared to the previous year. Lower EBITDA in current quarter compared to previous year same quarter was due to a one-off impairment loss provided for hire purchase receivables of RM3.4 million in Q1 2016. c) Other Operations (investments and properties) Revenue from other operations was lower at RM2.7 million compared to RM4.3 million in the previous year and LBITDA was at RM3.0 million compared to EBITDA of RM5.6 million in the previous year. The loss suffered was due to the unrealised foreign exchange loss arising from financing overseas entities denominated in foreign currencies. 13

B) Explanatory Notes pursuant to Appendix 9B of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad 2. Comparison With Preceding Quarter s Results Quarter on quarter (QoQ): Revenue decreased by 3.0% (from RM1.51 billion to RM1.47 billion). LBT was at RM36.7 million with net loss of RM37.2 million. EBITDA recorded at RM13.7 million due to the unfavourable foreign exchange rate. a) Vehicles Assembly, Manufacturing, Distribution & After Sales Service (automotive) For the quarter under review, automotive division recorded RM1,448.6 million in revenue (-3.0% QoQ) and RM13.5 million in segment EBITDA (-64.7% QoQ). Q1 2016 recorded an unfavourable result due to lower demand in vehicles and higher CKD kits cost arising from unfavourable foreign exchange rate. Notwithstanding the competitive market, Nissan market share has improved to 8.2% in current quarter compared to 6.9% in previous quarter. b) Financial Services (hire purchase and insurance) The financial services division recorded its revenue at RM13.8 million for Q1 2016 (-7.6% QoQ). EBITDA for Q1 2016 was RM3.2 million (-24.8% QoQ). The lower EBITDA was due to higher impairment loss provided for hire purchase receivables compared to previous quarter. c) Other Operations (investments and properties) Revenue from other operations for Q1 2016 was RM2.7 million compared to RM2.4 million in preceding quarter. LBITDA for Q1 2016 was RM3.0 million compared to preceding quarter EBITDA of RM15.3 million. This was due to the revaluation gain arising from investment properties in Q4 2015 and the unrealised foreign exchange loss suffered in Q1 2016 arising from financing overseas entities denominated in foreign currencies. 3. Current Year Prospects In view of the volatility in the domestic and global economic situation, we believe the domestic automotive sector will remain challenging as consumers confidence remains weak. It is therefore more important than ever for us to remain disciplined and focused on key priorities going forward. Our aim is to be cash generative and to deliver profitable growth through the economic cycle. Effective 1 April 2016, we raised selling prices ranging from 2.8% to 6.7% for certain Nissan models due to the weak Ringgit which impacted operating costs. Domestically, the Group will focus on sales and marketing activities together with value offerings to enhance sales efforts and to improve our competitiveness. Regionally, we continue to strengthen our footprint in Vietnam and other Indo-China countries by expanding our sales network and filling existing plant capacity with new models. 14

Financial Instruments and Realised And Unrealised Profits a) Derivatives As at 31 March 2016, the notional amount, fair value and maturity period of the forward foreign exchange contracts are as follows: Type of Derivatives Notional Amount RM'000 Net Fair Value Assets/(Liabilities) RM'000 Maturity Forward foreign exchange contracts 254,440 (11,254) Less than 1 year Forward foreign exchange contracts are entered into with locally incorporated licensed banks to hedge certain portion of the Group s purchases from exchange rate movements. As the exchange rates are predetermined under such contracts, in the event of exchange rate movement, exposure to opportunity gain/(loss) is expected. Given that the contracts are entered into with locally incorporated licensed banks, we are of the view that credit risk and the counterparty risk are minimal. Apart from a small fee payable to the banks there are no cash requirements for the forward contracts. It is the Group policy not to enter into hedging contracts, which in the aggregate relate to volumes that exceed its expected commercial requirements for imports. b) Realised and Unrealised Profits The breakdown of retained profits of the Group as at the reporting date, into realised and unrealised profits, pursuant to the directive, is as follows: (Unaudited) (Audited) 31.03.2016 31.12.2015 RM 000 RM 000 Total retained profits of Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad and its subsidiaries: - Realised profit 1,958,959 1,990,685 - Unrealised (loss)/profit (1,803) 22,182 1,957,156 2,012,867 Total share of retained profits from equity-accounted investees: - Realised profit 17,033 18,019 - Unrealised loss (732) (323) 16,301 17,696 Total Group retained profits before consolidation adjustments 1,973,457 2,030,563 Less: Consolidation adjustments (108,443) (114,413) 1,865,014 1,916,150 The determination of realised and unrealised profits is based on the Guidance on Special Matter No. 1, Determination of Realised and Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context of Disclosure pursuant to the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ( Bursa Malaysia ), issued by Malaysian Institute of Accountants on 20 December 2010. 9.
